VIVEK HIGH SCHOOL

Sector 38, Chandigarh

Orientation Programme

LKG 2015-16

Circular No. J 4 1 April, 2015

Dear Parents

We welcome you and your child to the new academic year.

We, at Vivek High follow an integrated approach to learning where children are encouraged to explore the environment around them and their place in it through drama, art, craft, music, dance, creative worksheets and thinking through “critically” which enhances skills for life! Activities are designed to develop their fine motor skills as well as encourage their sensorial development. A monthly work plan will be sent to you informing you about class activities.

The LKG curriculum includes:

1.English

a)Letters of the Alphabet: a to z (recognition and writing)

We do not follow the sequence of the letters but go according to their formation. We will be introducing two letters in a week. Each time we introduce a letter we will be asking for pictures related to the letter. When words are formed children will write on square lined paper with crayons.

b)We teach English using phonic sound of the letters of the alphabet. We request you not to use any other method at home as it is detrimental to the child’s progress.

We begin reading by introducing two letter words (joining two sounds to form a word) – it, in, at, up, etc

Hand writing – We practice writing on worksheets, workbook (English Workbook for small letters) and four lined exercise book.

Sentence writing – e.g. ‘The bus is red.’ On four lined sheets.

Number Work

a)Pre-number concepts like big/small, long/short and heavy/light.

b)Counting till 20- recognition, understanding the value, greater/smaller and other related numeracy concepts in ‘My Book Of Numbers 'I and II' and exercise books.

c)Single digit addition and subtraction.

d)What comes before / after

The world around us

Theme based learning- Our five senses, water, air, etc.

To make it more informative and interactive various activities and field trips will be organized. You will be informed about them in the monthly plan. Charts/ drawings made by the children can be sent to school.

Songs and Poems

Printouts of the new poems introduced will be sent to you via workplan.

5.Work plan: It is a guideline as to what your child would be learning in school over the month. You could use the same to benefit your child by revisiting these concepts in your own special way at home. It would not only excite your child to be exhibiting the skill he/she has acquired at school but it would also be a wonderful insight for you to understand and assess your child's understanding of concepts.

Evaluation/Report card - There is no formal examination. However the teachers closely monitor and observe the development and growth of the child during the course of the session and the report cards of the students are based on these observations. Half yearly Report Cards are given in October and final Report Cards are given in March.

Please sign the Report Card and send it back within three days time of receipt. Kindly put the signature in the appropriate place and keep them clean. No scribbling is allowed.

Library Books- We read aloud story books in class and encourage students also to read. Parents should encourage reading too. The appropriate books are Lady Bird series (Read it yourself Level I)

Show & Tell – To develop oral language skills and social skills, please encourage your child to bring a toy/a picture/a drawing to class for Show & Tell. Please assist your child to find an object that is meaningful to him/her and corresponds to the ‘letters’ of the week. Practice orally with your child about what he/she plans to speak in class about.

Playing With Toys- Please encourage your child to take care placing and handling toys. Apart from playing, children also need to learn to clear up and put things back.

Tiffin- Only one snack should be sent. Please encourage fruit and discourage chips, noodles etc.

Multimedia – We use Power Point Presentation, CDs etc. related to the class room concepts to enhance the learning process. We encourage you to share such resources.

Clear Bags – Worksheets done in class will be sent in a clear bag. Kindly keep them at home and send the bag back the next day.

Some more points to be kept in mind

a)Children should wear simple and comfortable clothes/ shoes to school. Please see that your child does not wear nail varnish, jewellery and expensive watches.

b)Parents should regulate and monitor the television viewing of their child as too much television leads to violence and aggression.

c)Sometimes your child can accidentally take something from school like a toy, crayon or plasticine etc. Kindly send it back the article without causing embarrassment to the child.

d)Encourage originality and creativity and always remember ‘specific praise’ works wonders for every child.

Thank you for sharing your time with us today. We need your co-operation at every step throughout the year.

We are sure, together we will be able to make it a fun filled year of learning.

CYBER CRIME- “STOP IGNORING”

VIVEK HIGH SCHOOL

Sector – 38 B

Chandigarh

Circular No.11 January 30, 2015

Dear Parents,

CYBER CRIME- “STOP IGNORING”

As we progress towards a healthy life and presumed efficiency, we think that we are becoming smarter and are working better. However, there is an alert, we need to wake up to. We need to know that in this world of possibilities, something more dangerous is happening in the younger circuit. All this is happening at the cost of our families largely through social media.

Keeping that in mind, here are some facts on cyber crime and cyber-plugin reality. These are not custom-made but our children are hooked on to an irreversible change. They have been entrapped by the computer bug.

Hip hopping may not always be well-intentioned and it’s leading to a lot of panic, anxiety and maladies that are leading to a new factor of crime in our homes.

The following points need to be considered by all of us:

Let’s supervise

Be aware of laws related to cyber facility

Age appropriate downloading according to child’s needs and requirements

Teach them information management

It is Killing talent as children are just plugged to the computer instead of working.

Changing work culture and ethics of working

True spirit of hard work is dying

Leading to flexi-working

Communication and emotional links are breaking, only virtual relationships are existing

FACTS

In due course of time children will become paperless and unaccountable and will lack real interaction on how to present themselves and deal with situations and people.

We need to:

Safeguard our children.

Educate them.

Face reality & not shirk & blame.

Focus on improvement for better life.

Children are seeking quick-fix remedies and their exciting journeys are leading to a fashionable disease through computer.

There is a combined responsibility to bring a struggling balance between keeping pace and in handling of the new computer stress. As parents we need to be more mindful and aware of what our children are doing at home. Inschool there is no provision of opening social media links.

We urge parents to look into and understand how dangerous limited or lack of information about cybercrime could be. Several cases have been reported where sociopaths have picked up personal details from facebook accounts of young children and then threatened them of dire consequences if they do not respond to their demand for money.

This is serious business and we all together the parents, society and school have to make a commitment to create a safe environment to protect our children.

Please find enclosed the following for your ready reference

1. An article by one of our own students

2. Information on cyber laws.

We solicit your co operation for the safety and well being of our children.

Warm regards

Internet addiction in children

Are you feeling upset and angry quite often? Experiencing moodiness when you are unable to access your computer? Do you feel incomplete unless you have the screen monitor in front of you? You are one among the many folks who are facing the problem of internet addiction. This is a very real and growing health concern. Here’s what you need to watch out for.

Internet addiction is when you are so addicted to being online( that includes social networking, gaming, chat, adult content, work) that you cannot function normally as an individual without being on it.

People who are internet addicts will find it soothing to be online and chatting to their friends or virtual interactions but be uncomfortable in a real social situation. There is a sensation of being disconnected when they interact with people offline.

There is no track of time while using the internet, the individual may neglect food, self care, hygiene and other responsibilities in the home or around them.

The individual may also be addicted to certain kinds of content or online activity such as gambling. This is still more a serious problem and will need to be addressed at the root level which may in reality be an addiction to something else altogether.

If your child is withdrawn, angry, upset or not participating in activities except online, you may want to pay attention to his or her online activities and make them participate in other interests over a period of time.

If the time spent is inappropriate, or the child finds it difficult to switch off the system/ shut it down at night, there is a problem. Do check if it is a regular occurrence or just a one time incident for some download that he or she may be doing. Waking up at odd hours and chatting and staying online without sleep is all signs of a problem.

Check if your child reacts very strongly if you cut off internet access. Do they appear disturbed, depressed or overly angry? You may need to seek outside help if such symptoms are seen.

Keep a tab on the hours of internet use and also keep track of your child’s academic life. If they are falling behind or unable to perform due to any reason, then do check with the teacher about their behavior. Talk to your child, find time to discuss with your child and let them know it is okay to make mistakes but it is important to not let anything be the master of their time and life.

At Vivek, we work diligently to promote a community of 21st century learners. An element towards achieving this goal, is our effort to embed into the curriculum a global outlook, to be achieved through collaboration, communication, creative and critical thinking. We recognize the importance of Internationalism and to take this a step further we have integrated the TRINITY COLLEGE LONDON EXAMINATIONS & CERTIFICATION IN ‘Speech & Drama’ and 'Communication Skills' into our curriculum.

It is with pardonable pride that I share with you that- last October (our senior students) and again this April (our junior students) brought laurels to the school by securing a 100% result in the Trinity College London Examinations. Our endeavour this year is to offer these exams to the students of classes I to XII.

Every child has a beautiful mind. They have great ideas for the society to take notice and follow. However, these ideas need to be communicated, effectively. Your child, reserved or spirited, needs to develop accurate verbal communication skills or Speech. Then the child must find a unique and interesting way to deliver it, which is Drama.

Trinity College London needs no introduction as it has remained a leading International Examinations Board since 1877, with establishments in 60 countries. At present, Trinity College London assesses more than 35000 candidates across India.

Benefits for students

Eased shyness and stage fright
